Family of 5 Build Their Dream Skoolie! *2 YEAR TIMELAPSE* Full Time Living! 

#skoolie #skoolieconversion #vanlife
A 2 year Timelapse of our entire build so far. This has been a crazy journey. We sold both of our houses in 2020 and haven’t looked back. We’ve spent the last 2 years converting this old 1993 Blue Bird school bus into a dream skoolie.
Life hasn’t been easy moving from 3400 square feet to 300 square feet but we love it so far.
The bus isn’t completely done. But I figured it was time to take a trip down memory lane and put together a Timelapse of the build so far. Thanks for sticking with us this whole time. It’s been a blast.

Mr. Dad your family is lucky to have you. Awesome job. My Dad passed away from cancer related complications on my 20th bday. But as a child watching him build things I thought he was a real super hero. Now at 34 I have even more of a respect & concept of how valuable this is for families 🥰

[@lifeanywhere]

My father passed away to cancer as well when I was 22. I relate entirely to everything you said. Thank you!

[@CoCo-yv3hl]

@@lifeanywhere sorry for you loss it sucks. You have a beautiful family. Can’t wait for more videos. I plan on purchasing a RV soon to carry out my Dad’s last wish if he had made it out of the hospital. Safe travels 🥰

When I was a little girl we lived in Harlan county in Kentucky and we lived in 2 busses we used one for a kitten and living room and the other for a bathroom and bedrooms we were very poor but we were happy it was me and my brother and my mom and dad we lived like that for years! It just shows you you can make it through anything if you just put in the effort it will pay off thank you for this video and the wonderful memories it has awakened God bless you all and keep you safe and meet your every need Peggy Lynn Smith from Corbin Kentucky

Retired school administrator and bus driver here. You made an excellent choice with the flat fronted blue bird. Excellent visibility, better ride than traditional bus and the CUMMINS.!!

[@sebastianbache8862]

This was truly magical to watch. The best I’ve seen yet. If every American showed such dedication and creativity there would not be time for unrest and political malarkey. You truly live with unconditional love without knowing any of you it just comes through. My kind of Americans I would be proud to have as friends and neighbors. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much Sebastian! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

It’s crazy how the last time I rode on a school bus, was 30 years ago. Some of my classmates & I went to & from our high school graduation Grad Nite in a night club. It was great to ride n a school bus back at our then Alma Mater for the last time as a class. Great for you guys for turning this old school bus into a home.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

You have created something quite special and beautiful for your family. I hope you have amazing adventures while traveling in this beautiful RV you have lovingly created with your family. This is the type of project that my Dad would have loved doing especially since we went on month long camping trips as we explored the various mountain ranges, visited family and friends and had fun as a family. We used a tent trailer with a zip on extension and stackable camping cots for us kids to sleep on. Once the 3 eldest were no longer living at home Dad up graded to a popup trailer that slept 8 and had a built in stove, fridge, heater, sink and a water tank. Because we camped in bear country we didn’t cook or eat anything in the trailer which was fine since we had a pretty good setup for cooking outside and had multiple canopies to protect us from any bad weather. Dad even had heavy plastic sheeting that could be attached to the canopies creating walls that came in handy on a few rainy trips.

A Thomas bus uses screws rather than rivets, so MUCH easier to take apart and an after-school "Activity" bus 9white in color) has highway gearing compared to an in-town school bus (yellow in color) hence better mileage
